Water heating boost control
The BX2000 is a straightforward and reliable boost control for electric water heating systems, giving households on off-peak overnight tariffs a simple way to top up their hot water during the day without compromising the priority of their overnight cheap-rate supply.
Households on off-peak electricity tariffs, such as Economy 7, benefit from significantly cheaper overnight rates, which suit heating a full tank of water overnight. However, daily hot water demand does not always align neatly with overnight heating cycles. Without a reliable boost facility, households either go without hot water or heat it at full peak-rate cost, losing the financial benefit the tariff is designed to provide.
The BX2000 solves this by always prioritising off-peak supply and automatically cancelling any active boost the moment the off-peak rate becomes available, so the two never conflict. Suitable for single, dual, or twin element immersion heater installations up to 3kW, and designed to accept 2 incoming power supplies, the BX2000 is a reliable solution for managing daytime hot water needs without disrupting the efficiency of an overnight tariff setup.

The BX2000 supports single, dual, or twin-element immersion heater installations up to 3kW, accommodating a range of setups.
Designed to accept two incoming power supplies, the control lets you manage 24-hour and off-peak supplies separately.
The BX2000 suits the UK residential market, particularly properties on Economy 7 or similar off-peak overnight electricity tariffs where electric immersion heaters are the primary means of water heating. It is a practical solution for installers, landlords, and social housing providers managing properties where electricity companies control the off-peak supply via switching equipment. Providing a reliable, easy-to-use daytime boost facility is needed to complement the overnight heating cycle.
